E-Z sleeve

ABSTRACT

By looking at the entire scope of E-Z Sleeve invention, it is apparent that this invention has uniqueness which is required for patent. It is the only way that a shirt can be minimally altered with maximum containment of sunglasses or eyeglasses regardless of any motion even horizontal. A simple button hole sewn sideways with a small cloth strip approximately 3 inches below it will firmly hold glasses better than putting them in a chest pocket.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 1. Field of Invention

The entire scope of this invention is to address the problem ofmaintaining and firmly securing a set of sunglasses or eyeglasses on theleft chest of a shirt or T-shirt without the use of a chest pocket. Thisinvention can be used for both right or left side of shirt or T-shirt.By firmly controlling the placement of either sun or eyeglasses, theuser can still work or bend over while glasses remain firmly in place.In the past, by containing glasses in chest pocket, user was limited byrange of motion used so that the glasses would not fall out of chestpocket. This invention would allow user to crawl on hands and knees orwork horizontally without losing glasses.

2. Description of Prior Art

There really is no other prior art other than chest pockets to holdeyeglasses or sunglasses. Hanging them off the front of shirt at theneck is not considered prior art since no modification of shirt orT-shirt has been done. E-Z Sleeve utilizes a horizontally sewn buttonhole on usually left side of shirt or T-shirt but can also be sewn onthe right side. Directly underneath the horizontal button holeapproximately three inches down on the inside of shirt is where a smallcloth strap one inch long and a half inch wide is also sewn horizontallyjust on the ends. It is this strap that firmly contains the eyeglassesor sunglasses in place. E-Z Sleeve can be sewn next to chest pocket ifpocket is manufactured on shirt.

SUMMARY

All this invention does is to barely modify any type of shirt withminimal manufacturing changes so that a shirt can firmly hold ineyeglasses or sunglasses so that user has much more range of motion withglasses in place.
